I have extensive experience in the Point of Purchase (POP) display and packaging industries, while also gaining recognition as an author and illustrator. Creative, yet precise and detail oriented, I have held responsible positions in display and packaging design, graphics, pre-press, and aspects of both production and fulfillment.
As a project manager, I am accustomed to coordinating multifaceted B2B projects under deadline, interfacing internally with multiple departments and working directly with customers and vendors. I am also an experienced team leader and departmental level manager with the ability to interact with colleagues with respect and integrity. I am accomplished with Adobe Suite (including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign), as well as 3d platforms and principles, and Wordpress, SEO and HTML5. I take initiative in managing specific projects as well as in expanding my skills to meet my clients’ evolving needs.
My published works include fiction, technical writing, illustration and photography.
Point of Purchase - Display & Packaging
I have worked in numerous capacities in the display, packaging and corrugated industries, with special concentration in the Point of Purchase industry. Throughout, I have been immersed in a production-oriented environment, and have been privileged to work with some of the best talents in the field. This has allowed me to master packaging and display engineering, and to develop my graphic and 3D skills. My involvement has included prototyping and mock-ups, personnel and project management, logistics, and turn-key fulfillment.
Photography
Photography has been a passion and creative working arena for me as long as I can remember. I am experienced in studio shooting, countless aspects of digital photography, and in old style darkroom photography.
3D and Fine Arts
I have worked in various 3D programs both professionally and as an avid hobbyist. I have worked in mainstream modeling and Cad softwares (Strata, Cinema 4D, Google SketchUp, Lightwave, Artios and SolidWorks), and am knowledgable in modeling, texturing and basic rigging. I also work in specialty terrain and figure manipulation softwares such as Bryce, Vue, Poser and DAZ.
